WHEN GOOD BRAS GO BAD
 
Myrtle Crumb, the sassy sixty-something sleuth from BETWEEN A CLUTCH AND A HARD PLACE, is back. This time she must go undercover in the middle school cafeteria to prove her granddaughter is not a thief. Still, Sunny knows more than she's telling; and it's starting to affect her relationship with her grandmother. Is Sunny's new friend Alicia the thief? If so, how far will Sunny go to protect her? Sunny might be fixing to learn a powerful lesson: that betrayal "is like when a good bra goes bad. First it lets you down, and then that underwire pokes you right in the heart."

"Mayberry meets Fried Green Tomatoes with a big dose of fun!"

- Deborah Smith, NYT Bestselling Author of A PLACE TO CALL HOME

Myrtle Crumb goes to a consignment shop and comes home with a brand new (or would that be used?) mystery to solve. Based on the note she finds in a black clutch, she decides to find out what happened to the purse's previous owner. As she gets closer to learning the truth, she begins to better appreciate the old adage, "What you don't know, can't hurt you!"
